CoD may not be at its zenith right now but it's still not in danger of total collapse or anything like that and is still one of gamings most powerful franchises.  And Sony made a bet sorta but not much of one; this was more of a follow up blow than anything else.  By taking CoD from MS, Microsofts only remaining close ally (as in marketing deals and potential timed exclusivity for stuff) is BethSoft.  All the other big players are on Sony's side.  

Not quite, I'd say EA is still more MS than Sony.

Maybe slightly.  But EA seems to be more interested in walking the line and not pissing anyone off.  The Madden thing is more due to an agreement between MS and the NFL, iirc.  But I wouldn't be surprised if EA starts to drift more and more to Sony in ways their current deals allow.
